I have lived in my house between two villages for a long long time. When we first moved here the wildlife was abundant. Gradually the few house’s occupants changed from elderly married couples to families. Only 11 houses in all but the big house became a commercial property with lots of modernisation. Over the years we have lost upward of 28 types of birds, animals and pond life. Just due to more active people and traffic around. We tried to be responsible but wildlife doesn’t like activity from noisy people. I really miss the swallows and the owls and the glow worms.

@themindfulnarrowboat I am afraid the problem is far beyond green verges, we are surrounded my miles of fields. It has to be down to too much activity from people, vehicles, noise and all the rest of the things WE need to survive. It is all too complicated for quick fix answers.
